> All the symptoms you describe as being symptoms of "dysautonomia" are the very same symptoms I experienced (when all this started) back in 2001. The cold hands and feet were the first thing that started to bother me. However, having said that I guess you could say the very same symptoms are also symptoms of anxiety.

> If you have symptoms of "dysautonomia" then what should you do for treatment? Just trial and error with antidepressants again?The dysautonomia is just as much a part of depression as is depressed mood, anxiety, psychomotor retardation, amotivation, cognitive impairment, anergia, decreased libido, etc. Like these other symptoms, dysautonomia resolves upon remission from depression. So, yes, a robust response to treatment will allow for a more normal balance between the two parts of the autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic.
